"It's always well-kept and attended by someone everyday and almost all the time. Located just besides the Masjid Langgar.
Came to visit someone whom I missed dearly, and had passed away 6 years ago. May Allah bestow His Mercy to all the dwellers here.
Also visited the Founding Father's grave.
alMarhum Sultan Yahya is also buried here."

"Stopped by for a moment with a Kelantan Royal Relative and the maqam keeper (the spirit of Pok Pa) at the Sultan-Sultan Kelantan Residency Complex and the Raja Dewa Residency Complex at the Maqam DiRaja Langgar. Brief tahlil and prayers for the deceased at the Maqam of the late Sultan Ismail Petra, Sultan Muhammad IV etc.
Had the opportunity to visit and pray for the deceased father YM Tengku Mustapha at the Maqam Di Raja Langgar for 2 consecutive days before returning to Kuala Lumpur. Remembering my memories and nostalgia - laughing with my late father - feeling like it was still new. The state of the maqam was very calm and the clouds were also starting to cloud over.
Al-Fatihah - may Allah SWT choose his soul among those who are pleased with Him - aamiin.
I also had the opportunity to visit and pray for YAM Almarhum Tengku Kaya Pahlawan (Tengku Mahmood) Ibni Almarhum Sultan Muhammad IV (I had known him during his lifetime) and his wife Almarhumah YM Tengku Rafeah binti Tengku Mahmood Petra (a close relative of YMM Almarhumah Raja Perempuan Zainab 2)
In addition to reciting prayers and brief tahlil for DYMM Almarhum Long Senik Mulut Merah (Sultan Muhammad II), YMM Almarhumah Tengku To' and Almarhumah Long Tan Temenggung Aria Pahlawan etc.
2 consecutive days I had the opportunity to visit the Maqam DiRaja Langgar.
I did not miss the opportunity to visit my Ummi's grave, the Long Gaffar's grave (Limbat), the graves of relatives in Banggol and finally the Maqam Raja Abdullah (Padang Halban) on the way back to Kuala Lumpur. Before reaching home, I visited my father's grave for the second time.
God willing, I will visit again in the near future at the request of certain parties."
